We study a natural discrete Bochner-type inequality on graphs, and explore its merit as a notion of curvature in discrete spaces. An appealing feature of this discrete version seems to be that it is fairly straightforward to compute this…

We prove two types of results. First we develop the decoupling theory for hypersurfaces with nonzero Gaussian curvature, which extends our earlier work from \cite{BD3}. As a consequence of this we obtain sharp (up to $\epsilon$ losses)…
